ISLAMABAD:
The Economic Affairs Division (EAD) of the Standing Committee of the National Assembly on Wednesday reviewed the regional selection data for foreign training programs.
The meeting was chaired by Dr Mirza Ikhtiar Baig in Parliament.
Of the total applications received, the successful candidates included 19 from Sindh (out of 139 applications), 58 from KP (out of 178), 64 from Balochistan (out of 300), 33 from Azad Jammu and Kashmir (out of 86) and 52 from Punjab (out of 198).
After examining regional disparities, the committee asked EAD to provide detailed justification for Sindh’s comparatively low selection rate.
